Not connecting to various web sites

Since upgrading to Tiger I no longer can connect to sites such as cnet, buy.com and others no matter what browser I use, i.e. safari, IE, camino, firefox, etc. But if I start up in Panther or Classic I don't have this problem. Keep geting cannot find server message. What is wrong and how do I fix it?

See in order to troubleshoot your issue, it may be necessary to use some risky techniques to analyze system data files. That's why a backup is recommended. I have a FAQ on backing up on the Mac:
http://www.macmaps.com/backup.html
Secondly, yes, the Linksys is indeed a firewall. In addition to Wade's mentioning the software firewall on Mac OS X, I would say first see if the issue exists without the Linksys connected. If the issue appears when connecting directly to the cable/DSL modem, you know it isn't the Linksys giving the problem and something in the software whether it be Wade's mentioned firewall, preferences, cache, network related installed applications such as anti-virus or speed download, or directory which needs to be analyzed. But if it doesn't appear without the Linksys, a setting on the Linksys may need to be changed, or its firmware updated to be better compatible with Tiger.

I can not connect to a web site at office, but home can

I can not connect to a cfml web site at office, but home can...well I copied ste file from home to office but didn't work, well?

If it's in an office that you are having trouble connecting I would highly recommend consulting with your IT department in the office to ensure that they are not blocking the connection with the corporate firewall.

Firefox will not connect to another web site and it will not reopen after I close it.

I have removed Firefox and reinstalled it. I have tried to disable addons but it still will not open unless I reboot my computer. If this problem cannot be fixed easly, I will have to remove Firefox for good. When it is open, it will not connect to any URL I enter. When I close it it will not reopen and I get a message that says I have to restart Windows. This bug needs to be fixed. It worked one day and the next day it would not work.

A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

I can not connect to a web site using aol/ google with safari , only yahoo will connect to the site

I find i can only connect to some sites using yahoo. google and aol will not allow me to connect , what do I do?

First off, AppleTV doesn't give web access.
Second off, Apple's classic operating system compatibility with many websites is very limited. That's the operating system available in virtualization on Macs made prior to early 2006, and as a boot operating system on Macs on or before 2003.
So without knowing what you have that is compatible, we can't give you really good advice on what to make it work. Identify your Mac, if you have one:
http://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2881
And tell us what version of the Mac OS you have in Apple menu -> About This Mac. Mac OS 10.0.x does not run on AppleTV. Then we can tell you what operating system support you should be able to get, and what browser support you should be able to get.

Safari RSS does not connect to a web site (while Firefox does ..)

I have some kind of a (new) problem here.
It recently has become impossible to connect to the following URL :
http://www.collishop.be/collishop/hifi/
I get the spinning symbol and a white page. I can't tell when this happened for the first time (after Java J2SE 5 update ? After 10.4.3 update ? After Security Update 2005-007 ?)
However, Firefox connects flawlessly...
Anyone a hint (or more info, if you tell me what console log you need to better understand the problem ?)
Txs in advance

My wife and I share our Mac OS 10.6.8 since downloading Skype on her account she can not stay connected to any web site she pulls up. I removed Skype from here account but it stll happens. What can I do to clear this up?

My wife and I share the same Mac OS 10.6.8 and since downloading Skype on her accout she came not asty connected to any web site for more than a few seconds. I have remove Skype from her account but not mine. I don't have the problem on my accout and I still have Skype loaded. How can I fix this problem?

O.k. Thanks for the clarification. I poked around in my TimeCapsule router's settings (TimeCapsule is an Apple Airport Extreme router with attached hard drive for wireless backup/storage). Unfortunately, it doesn't look like I can disable multicasting with the TimeCapsule. I can change the multicasting 'rate'. Settings are Low, Medium, High. It's currently set to Low.
I did a few web searches, and found an Apple.com article: <http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3789?viewlocale=en_US> which explained how to disable Bonjour Service Advertisements. I believe this is the same thing as 'Multicasting'. The process is a modification of "/System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.mDNSResponder.plist", and a restart of the Mac is required afterwards.
I'm a bit concerned that disabling multicasting will interfere with my AppleTVs and iTunes music sharing, but I may try it next time I'm up for a computer workout. This task will require editing of system preference files, could require multiple restarts, might interfere with my AppleTVs, could interfere with my iTunes file sharing, doesn't have a documented relationship to my problem.
This is way to difficult for something that should just work. Did you say you had read something about a relationship between this bonjour multicasting and smb connectivity? If it was online could you post the link?
I'm currently able to connect to the drive using NFS, but I have to manually configure that connection each time I reboot (can't get the 'Disk Utility' configured to do it automatically). While it's working with NFS, it's not my preferred connect method (for various reasons).

I am still getting redirected to various web sites when using Safari. My PC is not affected but my I phone and I pad are. I have reset my router and changed my admin name and password. I am still being redirected.

Chances are you mis-typed a character in the Wifi password and the devices saved that information. Now whenever you try to connect the device refers to the wrong password and the Jetpack does not accept your connection. Tell your devices to forget the wireless connection and start over.
Once you enter the proper WiFi credentials the Jetpack will allow you to connect.

My Mac will not automatically connect to a web site when I double click

I can't connect to a web site via the site's own WiFi.

This is a strange one. When I'm in the New York Public Library and connected to the internet via their WiFi I can connect to any web site EXCEPT the New York Public Library's! (www.nypl.org) It tries connecting then times out every time. I can connect to the NYPL's site when I'm not there from home or other WiFis public or private, and when there I can connect to it on my iPhone, but not from my computer with either Firefox or Safari. Other people with Macs can access the site from there and I went over my settings with one of them but could find no differences.
I'm using 10.5.7 and have the latest updates for Firefox and Safari and the latest updates for OSX. What's frustrating is that when I'm at the library doing research there are databases one can only access from there, not from outside, so it's a very odd situation. Using iPhone for such a reason is quite impractical, too so I'd appreciate any help anyone can offer. I'm sure it's a setting somewhere in my network prefs or something but I'm baffled as to what it might be - has anyone else ever run across something similar?
Thank you!

I am hear at the New York Public Library now. I am connected to the internet on their WiFi but still cannot get to their site at the address http://www.nypl.org , it times out. I pinged them with this result:

The print is too small on various web sites that I open. How can I correct this?

The print is too small on various web sites that I open. This has never happened on older Firefox versions. How can I correct this so every page I open, the print size is consistent and legible? I don't want to change it every time I open a new site.

Hi Donna,
Welcome to the HP Community Forum.
Font Size and the scale (size) at which a document is printed is controlled within the application just before the job is sent to the printer - this means the size is set from your browser (Firefox, Internet Explorer) or perhaps your Editor (Word). Generally speaking, most applications use Print Preview -- or a variation of that program under a different name.
An explanation and the use of Print Preview is avialble in the following document:

Safari Does Not Allow Access to Web Sites With Wildcard X.509 Certificates

I'm really getting irritated with the Safari browser in OSX Mavericks. One of the more irritating features involves the inability to access web sites that use improperly constructed wildcard X509 certificates. By improperly constructed, I mean that the X.509 certificate does not contain the host name of the system being accessed in the Subject Alternate Name list.
Earlier versions of Safari would, at least, allow me to examine the X.509 certificate and determine whether I wanted to proceed with the connection. The current version of Safari doesn't provide that option. It simply displays a screen stating that it can't establish a secure connection to the web site. If you actually have a need to access the web site, you need to use a web browser like Firefox.
What's really irritating about this is that Safari had improved to the point where it was reliable enough to be used as the default browser.
Is there a Safari.plist setting that will allow me to change the behavior of Safari when it encounters an improperly constructed X.509 certificate and provide me the opportunity to examine the certificate to decide whether to proceed or not?

Hi
Have a look in your Networks panel in System Preferences. Click on the Advanced button, then Proxies. There may be an errant proxy present blocking the site load.

I get repeated error messages about there being a problem with Java Script when visiting various web sites

Hi,
Try the Firefox Safe Mode''' to see how it works there. The Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.''
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* You can open the Firefox 4.0+ Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or use the Help menu item and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
Choose to [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode#w_safe-mode-window_2 Start in Safe Mode].
To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shift key) to open it again.
If it is good in the Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one.
Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
Alternatively you may also want to Reset Firefox and start afresh.
The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

Why do I sometimes get connected to different web site than link specified and if I go BACK and try again, it works correctly?

This happens infrequently, but sometimes I get connected to a web site that has a Trojan. If I go back and try it again, I get the correct site. I know this happens from the Yahoo site, but it also happens from other sites.

Incorrectly configured server. i.e. missing intermediate chain certificate. IE can download automatically, but Mozilla can't, hence the cert error. As far as why it randomly decides it is valid sometimes prior to you try to add a security exception I don't know.

Laserjet Pro 400 MFP M425DN Can not connect to HP Web Services

I have a Laserjet Pro 400 MFP M425DN printer on a network running windows 7 and we Can not connect to HP Web Services. When we use the display on the menu it comes back with error "Internal Processing error, try again or check firmware update" We installed the new firmware but still get the same message. IF type in our printers IP address into our browser we get the info on our printer but if we go to the HP web services tap and click enable it trys but come back with a "connection error"
Any ideas?
Thanks
Paul

I just updated my Firmware on this printer today to the latest version dated May 3 2013 and Web Services
worked. Had the same type of problem you had for months and had worked with HP but could never get
Web Services to work at my location with my Modem/Router.
Had tried at other locations and it would work with the old Firmware. But for some reason it did not at my
location with the Modem/Router I was using.
Again the latest Firmware fixed it. I tried all the other solutions that I had found on the internet and non of them worked.
